Security Cameras & Privacy

Hello friends, in my opinion, security cameras are essential for some places like a bank, atm, traffic control, railway station, main bus stand in defence, for safety & security purposes. It helps in catching the thief, corrupted people and stop many illegal activities. It also creates a fear in people to do wrong things. When we talk about our defence forces and our space centre like ISRO, then the privacy of them should be very strong so that no one can hack our important data. And it is improved by ethical hacking.

On other side, if I talk about disadvantages of it, then it can be used for wrong purposes too.

Like many bad people use it in changing room, toilets, hotel rooms etc. Some people use it for blackmailing by record our private activities. So to prevent this government should take an appropriate step and make a rule that only authorized person can buy it.

One more point I want to add that, instead of installing security camera every place like shop, school, college. We should install some good habits as well as well discipline in ourselves. So that we can save money of security cameras.

Hello, everyone, I agree with all of you, as the camera is very good for security purposes, but it should not disturb someone's privacy. Like having it in public places as in banks, around ATM's, around parking spaces, near jeweller's shop where the possibility of stealing are more. Even on the traffic signals, on the road where chances of criminal activities are more, we should also put the camera there for security purposes. It also helps police, crime branches to investigate further for a case as it captures and records everything.

As every coin has two sides. We can not ignore its disadvantages also. Like having a camera in the hotel's room, trials room affects someone's personal space. Some people also record someone's private videos and captures picture also and blackmail them it. So we should keep above points in mind as should use camera and security beneficially.

So I conclude my answer by, "security is very much important, but should not disturb person's personal space".

I personally believe that security camera's are good enough. Frequently we watch news about robbery, theft, boned and all, having a security camera over such places as banks, ATM's help our police and other defense forces to trap or monitor over these kind of people doing malicious act. But contrary to this it is also that sometimes security camera's are used in a wrongly manner as in malls people do cheap kind of things putting camera in changing room and all. This kind of behavior should not exist. Thank you!

I agree with the people those who are favour to security camera is needed in public places.

I just wanna arise a question who says security camera affects the privacy. Where the security cameras are available?security cameras are available only in public places. So whats the need of doing private activities in public places.

No one would watch yu through this security camera untill yu behave differently or wrongly. Because the place which has security camera would definetly occupied by many people. Monitoring people will not focus only one person untill he/she behave wrongly.

Security cameras plays a keen role in our daily life, But in some hospitals, they are used in wrong manner. These cameras are kept in patients room and are recorded live. In x-ray rooms, In cytology rooms, where patients are some times kept naked are been watched by every one, other than doctors, these cameras are very harmful in our daily life. Without knowing we are watched naked by every one, try to avoid cameras in hospitals. I write these things because I myself am victim on such act by one hospital in Hyderabad. No one knows and no one takes responsible of such incident, till it happens to self.

Everyone needs privacy. Its a matter of oneself. In the recent past to control the robbery and some related misdeeds the advanced technology is made use. In every invention there will be disadvantages too. Either the effect will be direct or indirect. But some times it doesn't matters as to protect ourselves. Mostly in jewellery, mall and banks by diverting the mind thief's will encounter robbery. In such situations, If there security cameras are installed it will be more useful. Meanwhile people use these security hidden cameras for some other purposes like keeping in dressing room,bath room or in bed room which will really makes the people to feel bad. Hence security cameras should be used in proper way and it should not affect once character.

Hello everyone. I think the topic is quite sensitive and debate. Privacy is a major concern in everyone's life. Every person has their own curtain of personal things which is hidden from everyone. On the other hand, security is also a key factor that everyone wants. Balancing these two is a little difficult. Coming to our topic a question raises. Are only the security cameras provide security. There are many cases where a flaw has happened in the presence of cameras. So keeping the security cameras don't provide security. Living in a secured fashion and letting others to live in a secured way is one's own responsibility. Focusing on private security cameras if kept in places such as traffic signals, malls, theatres everywhere in the public where the privacy of people not get disturbed is not a bad trail. For instance, in a shopping complex if you keep the camera in trail room it disturbs the privacy of the customer. Doing good is not bad. But doing it in the right way fulfils it purpose.

In my point of view Nowadays Security cameras are doing great job. Because of the Security camera Polices are able to find the criminals, thieves etc.

-> Security Camera are need in every Junctions, Malls, Bus Stops etc. Then crime can be controlled.

-> But Some persons are using Security cameras for illegal works, so these security cameras should not available for all.

According to my point of view security cameras plays a vital role in crime investigations like robbery and kidnapping cases. Especially now a days woman harassment and kidnapping cases are rising day by day it can be controlled by increasing number of security cameras at public places where more people will gather.

But apart from this security cameras are used by some rogues for illegal activities and they do manner less things like they kept cameras in trial rooms and washrooms (especially in women) so everyone should be aware about this and keep yourself safe.

Hello everybody,

As per my opinion security cameras are playing a vital role for the purpose of security. There are many advantages and a few disadvantages are there by the security cameras.

Advantages are : 1) We can identify the unauthorised activities which take place in public places.

2) Many places like banks, hospitals, bus stands, traffic places are becoming safe with security cameras.

Disadvantages: Some people using security cameras are used illegally to get unauthorised activities.
